Cutting holes in the baffles to match the speaker is tricky. Here's how I did it. Screw the router router template to the speaker box, then shim it out a bit to allow for the gap between speaker box and baffle. 2024-02-29 16.58.42.jpg Remove the speaker - easily done by lifting it out through the re...

Thanks Glenn, yes indeed, if required there's enough room in those speaker boxes to fit an isolation assembly like the one you showed. They are well screwed together so no need for glue. I'm even more impressed with the isopods now I can observe their behaviour when sitting on those very rigid shelv...

As the Genelec speaker isopods give some benefit in reducing the transmission of low mid frequencies to the structure they are mounted on, I decided against bolting the speakers to their shelves. I had them on the isopods before, and it was ok then, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. A problem with...

That would be well trippy! Afraid not though, I'll just be painting them the same cream colour as the walls

I've sawed the side wall and sloped edges of the soffit baffle faces. A little bit tricky due to the bevels required. I thought the best way to figure out where to cut the inside edge was by attaching these baffles to the soffit structure then dropping a plumb bob from the corresponding edge on the ...

Thank you! Well it's a big place you have, and doing the drywall is a big job, especially when you have to do several layers

I had a recording session today so had to get the room back into working shape. I really like the way it's coming together. I love the sound of the speakers in those locations, and I can see the soffits are going to improve the tidiness and professional look of the room without consuming useful spac...

The test baffle has a rectangular hole for the speaker, but the speaker is egg shaped, so this won't do. I built an MDF router template for cutting speaker shaped holes in the final MDF baffle faces. It's sized and shaped to give a few mm clearance around the speaker so the baffle face won't touch i...

Speaker boxes coming along. I drilled an 80mm diameter hole for the upper duct and a smaller hole for cables and DIP switch access. There will be another 80mm duct hole in the bottom of the speaker, but I have to wait until later in the build until I determine the exact location of the speaker box s...

Nicely described. So in other words, am I correct to think you can have air moving faster than the outlet as long as it's not a ridiculous differential right before the properly sized grille, and the fast moving areas like your silencer are sufficiently isolated to prevent any whooshing being heard?

I like that idea with the lighting!
The current fan controller has 4 settings: off, low, medium, high. I've located it under my desk so I can switch between them without getting up from the desk. Very useful for what you mention and switching it on/off for recording quiet instruments.

6649 Thanks Glenn. Im not 100% sure what you mean by a plenum, but I'm imagining some type of box that the registers are attached to, large enough to slow the air down significantly so it just kind of falls out of the register silently? And if I use one of those, then my silencer can just be the sa...

That make sense Glenn thank you. I reckon I could get away with a slower and therefore quieter fan speed yet, so at some point I may get a variac that supports lower speeds. Or even connect it in series with the 3 way switch currently used the gives low, medium and normal speeds.
Cheers!

I sealed the joints on the supply plenum, put in a gasket for where it meets the wall, and added duct liner to it. Having a layer of OSB behind the plasterboard made screwing it to the wall easy. The plenum only contacts the knee wall, it will not touch the soffit baffle structure or faces. 20240212...
